Is that emulators for Ataris or Atari emulation on other platforms?  If an
emulation is running on the Atari under MiNT, shouldn't it utilize which ever
xfs' are available?  This way, a Mac emulator should be able to access the
VFAT partitions as well as anything else available be it Minix,TOS, or
whatever. Is this the way it should be?  I think it's best to leave the drive
access to the MiNT drivers.  If the emulator is installing itself and it
requires a particular driver that is not on the system, then it should supply
it during the installation.
